Coach Fitz - My camp highlight was the students' teamwork in hauling me up to the top of the Giant Swing!

Mrs Kelly Collinson - My camp highlight was the encouragement the students gave each other (especially on the Giant Swing, ziplining and on the trampolines).

Thanks to all the adults who came along to camp: Mr Morgan, Mrs Hannah Edwards, Mr Patrick Kelly, Coach Fitz, Miss Casson-Medhurst, and Mr Brendan Kelly, who also drove the bus.
